Artie Lange

A funny man often compared to his idol, the late John Belushi, Artie Lange is a comedian, actor, writer, producer, entrepreneur and radio personality who finds humor observing life and telling stories. An alum of The Howard Stern Show, Lange currently hosts The Artie Lange Show - locally broadcast on WHPT-FM, 102.5 the Bone - an offshoot of The Nick and Artie Show that he launched with comedian Nick DiPaolo in 2011.

Artie Lange gained a reputation as a class clown in school and performed his first stand-up routine when 19. He got his start in the comedy clubs of New York City where he helped create Live on Tape, the popular sketch comedy group, and wrote and performed with troupes such as Midnight Madness and The Improvables.

His breakout work with Live on Tape landed him his debut television role as one of the original series regulars on Fox's Mad TV. Film credits include: Dirty Work, The Bachelor, Lost and Found, Mystery Men and The Fourth Floor. Artie's memoir, Too Fat to Fish, is a New York Times best seller.
